                   Am                                                                                                G
You cannot stand what I've become, you much prefer the gentleman I was before
                 Am                                                                                                       G

why don't you come on back to the war? you can still get married

                  Am                                                                                                     G
There is a war between the rich and poor, a war between the man and the woman
                 Am
There is a war between the left and right, a war between the black and white
                                                            G
a war between the odd and the even
                         D                                C                                     G
Why don't you come on back to the war? pick up your tiny burden
